FAQs

If you’re new to Reiki, it’s completely normal to feel a mix of excitement and curiosity—or even some apprehension. To help you make the most of your session, here are a few frequently asked questions.

  • Reiki practitioners neither absorb your energy nor do you absorb theirs. Instead, they help release stagnant energy from you, allowing your own life force energy (ki or chi) to flow freely. This process can activate and enhance healing on emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical levels. Think of it like unblocking a kinked garden hose to restore the flow of water—except it's happening on an energetic level.

    • We’ll begin by discussing the areas where you seek support—whether emotional, mental, spiritual, or physical.

    • Next, if desired, you’ll be guided through a calming meditation to help you clear your mind and prepare for the session.

    • During the session, you’ll receive a range of healing techniques, including aura combing, chakra clearing, energy balancing, and Reiki hand placements.

    • You can enhance your session with a dowsing pendulum or oracel card reading for an additional charge.

    • Reflect on your goals: Think about what you hope to achieve from the appointment. Identify areas where you’re experiencing pain—whether emotional, mental, spiritual, or physical—and consider what you’re ready to release or address.

    • Prepare your body: To support relaxation, try to limit your caffeine intake on the day of your appointment and stay well-hydrated.

    • Maintain an open mind: Approach the session with an open mind and a willingness to fully engage in the experience.

    • Immerse yourself: Allow yourself to fully experience the session for maximum benefit.

    • Ask questions: Your comfort, peace of mind and having an idea of what to expect are important. Let me know if you have questions about anything not covered on this page.

  • Wear any casual and comfortable clothing as you will remain clothed for your session. It is recommended to remove chains, rings, watches and loose jewelry - you can do this at the session.

  • Every Reiki experience is unique, and results can vary with each session. Reiki energy is intuitive and will naturally direct itself where it's needed in your body and energy field. Based on feedback from my clients, you may experience one or more of the following during or after your session:

    • Deep relaxation and inner calm

    • Sensations of energy movement in different areas of your body or energy field

    • Pain relief

    • Emotional release

    • A sense of alignment, grounding, and balance

    • Lightness in spirit and heart

    • Insight or enlightenment about a specific situation

  • Reiki is not a quick fix; rather, it is a part of an ongoing healing journey. Similar to massage, chiropractic care, counseling or any sort of therapeutic modalities, multiple sessions can be highly beneficial in activating and sustaining your healing process. I usually recommend waiting about two weeks between sessions to give yourself time to integrate and reflect on your experience. However, the frequency of your visits is entirely up to you and should be based on what feels right for your personal healing journey.

  • Reiki is not bound by any particular doctrine or belief system, unlike many religions that require adherence to specific teachings. Instead, Reiki is a simple yet powerful relaxation and healing practice. It does not require you to change or give up your religious beliefs. In fact, many people of faith who practice or receive Reiki find that it deepens their connection to God.
